When Stella's estranged, larger-than-life mother dies, she leaves Stella with a curious inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading 'Go to Paris'. Stella wants nothing less than to step outside her comfortable routines and predictable life, but eventually resigns herself to honouring her mother's wishes.
Alone in a foreign city, Stella falls back to old habits, living cautiously, spending little, avoiding other people. Until, that is, she stumbles across an octogenarian art-collector who takes her under his wing. Together, they discover a passion for food, art and fashion, and Stella begins to wonder if there might be a life outside her comfort zone after all...
Bestselling author and food writer Ruth Reichl's rich, sensual writing brings the food and fashion of Paris to life in this charming novel about finding your true home where you least expect it.
